Where do you live? I cannot believe that the laws of any state allow for this unless you are outside of the US. So does your employer have to give you 3 months notice if they which to fire you or lay you off?
ok I'll admit that knoppmyth is one version behind right now it's on 0.19 and that's just because there were some BIG changes to get 0.20 going which are still in testing at the moment. You will notice it took mythdora quite a while to get it's 0.20 version out as well.
Knoppmyth has never to my knowledge been more than one version behind the official mythtv release, and it usually has a new release integrated in a month or two max. It's just that this one had some larger hurdles.
sorry nope it's not the same you have to actually tap into those resources an unsecured network will just connect itself. This has already gone to court in FL I believe it was and precidence is if you don't access their servers and you didn't break any security measures to gain access to the network it's legal. It's not like tapping into cable, it would be like someone setup a radio station but didn't want you to listen to it, but your raidio picked it up and you listened anyways.
That is the exact reason that companies like XGI and S3 could greatly benifit from opening their drivers. Getting free programming help from the Open Source community can't hurt. All they have to do is provide the documentation and specs. It's not like these lower end card companies are worried about ATI or NVIDIA (or anyone else for that matter) ripping off thier great new feature.
Give me a break do you honestly think there is any difference between this box and the one with windows preinstalled? The only difference will be that they save some money on the oem version of windows and some time that would have been spent installing the image onto the hard drive. And if you are lucky a sticker with the different label on it, and you can't tell me the sticker offsets the cost of an oem version of windows.
Well anyone who has ever had to replace both the color and b/w ink cartriges on a HP inkjet will find it rather expensive when compared to what they paid for the printer new.
No there is not one that I know of, and probably never will be as you have to write data to the database which would be rater difficult from a live cd. I suppose you could write it to a ram disk, but video is very large, and you would have to have to write that as well.
Secondly the personal cinema cards do not work with mythtv. As a mater of fact there are no all in one cards that I know of that do.
well in the US it's much more than a chance all stations had to start broadcasting some of their shows in HDTV a while back, and are supposed to be 100% before long so that the FCC can reclaim the old frequencies.
how did you get it down to $1000? I ask because my company is doing several phone systems for small businesses these days and to get the price down we've been using referbed legacy systems, but they are a bit of pain and lack some functionaliy, but when looking at this after reading this article I've found the cards run around $500 and even if you use the cheapest computer you can find (not a good idea in my opinion) it's still $399 or so that doesn't leave much room for phones, which is what always eats your lunch anyways.
Actually my thought has been for a while now that someone like sis should do this with their latest graphics chipset.
Lets face it they are not at the top of the performace charts no mater what they do they are squarely in the commodity market and even if someone gets the "secrets" from the open source drivers or the released documentation they will not be able to produce a comperable chip cheap enough to compete.
I know if there were a card at around the level of the latest sis Xabre or something that had full open source drivers I would certainly use it in desktop machines that were not going to be hardcore gaming machines. It would have nice accelerated 2d and enough 3d power to run games at a playable speed.
Give a couple of known good graphics driver programmers a card for free and price them low enough that interested enthusiast could buy them to help work out the bugs and I think you would be amazed at the speed you get a great driver. I had a G200 back when they were new and Matrox released most of the docs. I was on the mailing list for the utahGLX driver development, and it was mistifying how quickly the drivers came about, and the G200 speed in linux quickly passed the windows speed, and remained the fastest 3d performer in linux for quite some time.
links or lynx are programs they are not intigrated into the shell. I don't think you understand what a shell is.

Well concidering that the service Netflix provides now you don't get to keep the media either I believe it's a good fit. For a rental service I don't mind the fact that the movie stays on the harddrive, or even the fact that it's drm'd and may get erased when I go to download movie#4 or whatever. As long as they tout it as a rental service and keep the cost down they should be good.
well you mentioned pop goes the gmail, so you are obviously on windows, but for us linux users there is a nice little program called freepops which does yahoo, gmail, and several others, and has a plugin archatecture so that more can be added easily.
I agree that this is a widespread problem, and until recently I had never been able to get it to work either, but the other day I opened the proper port and tested with my brother and direct connect and file transfers worked.

If you take a look all mobile data plans are capped at 5GB on all carriers in the US.
Doesn't really surprise me that the braindead people over at TW couldn't figure out how to patch a fiber cable for 3 days. :)
If you don't understand this then you have no business with a name like PHPNerd. Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of php would understand.

That's why you use adblock plus then you can whitelist just that site while still blocking other unknown ad producing sites.
what are you talking about they weren't given one billion dollars to become evil they PAID one billion dollars to become evil.
sure Synaptic on my debian system will upgrade just about anything other than the kernel without requiring a reboot.

WOW I gotta get me one of those laptops with a 3.5day battery :)
yes you can continue to use any grabber or service you are currently using.
No there is not one that I know of, and probably never will be as you have to write data to the database which would be rater difficult from a live cd. I suppose you could write it to a ram disk, but video is very large, and you would have to have to write that as well.

well in the US it's much more than a chance all stations had to start broadcasting some of their shows in HDTV a while back, and are supposed to be 100% before long so that the FCC can reclaim the old frequencies.
Well as we are talking HDTV that is ATSC not NTSC or PAL. Not sure what Europe is using for HDTV if they are using it at all.
